Hi @Yoan, I am not sure if there is any debate (correct me if I am wrong though). In Coptic it is ϯⲛⲁϩϯ so it should be I believe with no controversy. My belief is that because a lot of people are accustomed to Arabic that is where the confusion lie…

Hi @Yoan, I cannot agree more with @mabsoota - I lived in Egypt for 28 years and I was taught it should be on the alef exactly for the reason @mabsoota mentioned. However I am increasingly coming across more and more writings even in newspapers that…

Dear all, Sorry a slight mistake corrected - I discovered that I had mentioned the first feast of Nativity in the Coptic Church was celebrated in the year 129 AM, when it ought to be 149 AM. Mistake corrected, plus rearrangement of slides for easier…

Thanks for letting me know about the church though.. I hope that one day I can pay Her a visit - and hope to see you soon too God willing.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡϭⲥ

I think that you are humble enough @mabsoota or possibly if I compare myself to you!!!! Stockport is not exactly south but if I had only known their schedule? Please mention us in your prayers always.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡϭⲥ

Thanks a lot @mabsoota.. Happy New Coptic Year to you too.. Unfortunately there is no Nayrouz Eve prayers here.. Please keep us in your prayers.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡϭⲥ

@Daniel_Kyrillos, Nope - your reasoning is absolutely right but ϫⲟⲙ doesn't mean book.. Ϫⲱⲙ does Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ

Yes as you rightly say Virgin Mary's departure is celebrated in the Coptic Church in January, and the assumption occurs 3 days later - the celebration in August is the commemoration of the assumption when St Thomas and the apostles fasted, meeting u…

Hi @Jeremy, It happens a lot, even within the same language - some names are used for both genders, eg Charlie, Sam, Ashley, etc and as in your suggestion, Andrea is a feminine name in English and masculine in Italian. Serena is another name where t…

Thanks @Daniel_Kyrillos for your nice words - equally importantly for me if not even more importantly I need prayers of a great person like you. I personally do not agree to changing the length of the apostles fast at all or indeed the Apokty calcu…

Dear @Kerlous, I, like what @minatasgeel stated above have not heard that cantor Towfik fitted the alle on Sa'idic sharat.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡϭⲥ

Hi @Kerlous, I trust @Jojo_Hanna and his sources and I also appreciate your response. You make very good and valid points, but the important thing is, having lived in Egypt for a long chunk of my life, I know that there are people who would abuse th…

Hi @mabsoota, Absolutely spot on. I am aware of the English and Greek terms, επακται ημέραι, where it was Copticised to ⲁⲡⲟⲕⲧⲏ and my aim is to spread the word Apokty to refer to the Coptic calculation as opposed to the Julian or Gregorian formula, …

Dear @Dioscoros, I cannot thank you enough for your explanation. This is a topic that our dear well-learned friend @mabsoota has taught me before, so thank you for confirming that information. I am more interested in the Coptic Synexarium and the er…

Hi @mabsoota, I have been meaning to reply to this post but I have also been very busy as you may be aware already. I will try to be brief and concise at the same time, don't know how! I heard the arguments you kindly shared even on this very websit…

Thanks a million @minamakar I have always wanted a detailed answer to this question and now you have provided one.. Really grateful.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡϭⲥ

Dear @Dioscoros, Although not directly related to this I would be very interested to hear your take on a similar matter in the Coptic Church as Augustine has been included in the Synexarium! Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡϭⲥ

Dear @Daniel_Kyrillos,Spot on as always.. thanks a lot for correcting my expression - yes "reserved" is the right description for what I meant to say. As for the rules for meh and the like, the prefix e; usually follows a word attached to a definite…

@Jojo_Hanna,anok oucaqo an - `n;ok picaqo `ntyiI wasn't aware of this teaching of course, but all I can say is that unfortunately due to inconsistencies in learning, and sorry to put it bluntly like this, the lack of direction and education of the C…

Ⲭⲉⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲡⲁⲥⲁϧ @Jojo_Hanna As @mabsoota alluded Coptic grammar does not follow Greek grammar (definitely not the modern Greek grammar or koine Greek for that matter). You are absolutely right that cantors are not the best or most reliable sources wh…

Dear @Daniel_Kyrillos, Thank you very much for your input. I think @AltHistoryWriter787 and all (including myself above all) benefit so much from your very nice efforts and opinions. Where you made the mistakes are the following - there is no such a…

Hi @WedeYonas, I may have time to elaborate on this later and of course I will await other people's comments, but so that we are clear, we do not speak Greek period. All the Greek loan words are Copticised and mutilated very far away from their curr…
